I really love this gown, it's very timeless and elegant. It's very much in the style that Catherine wears, and I love the long lace sleeves. I always find it very sad that when I open a bridal book, all the gowns are strapless.
I think Sarah Burton captured Catherine's style perfectly. She wears the gown, it doesn't wear her. Simply Stunning!!

She looked amazing but I think she has the kind of complexion/figure that *anything* would have looked great on her. Would have preferred to see her maybe choose someone like Stella McCartney and do something a *wee* bit edgier and hip but altogether a great look for a future Queen. Pippa's dress made me want to stand up and shout-classy yet not too stiff and formal. Loved the flow of the fabric, the cut, and the color on her as well-she's a beauty too in her own right.

I don't like the way that today, the press has been saying McQueen this McQueen that. DM has a headline Here comes the McQueen. When I think Sarah Burtons name should be mentioned more often, yes the fashion house is McQueen but Sarah designed the dress.

With wedding gowns, there are only so many variations on a classic style. Just because it had lace does not make it a copy of the late HSH's gowns. I have to say I was more than impressed with the design.

I thought her make up looked great; I guess I'm just out of touch with everything...so I'll just go merrily along my way.

I loved the Kate's dress, it does remind me of Grace Kelly's dress which I think is a major compliment because Princess Grace's dress in my opinion is not only one of the best wedding dresses in history but will look good today, tomorrow, and 50 years from now.

I understand people wanting something more I guess original but Kate's style has never seemed to me to be anything more than traditional, simple, and classic. Besides she can't exactly go out there with Gwen Stefani's wedding dress, it had to be traditional and classic.

Although I can see why people compare it to Princess Graces dress, the overall impression I get from the bride and the dress reminds me actually of Queen Elizabeths wedding dress. Maybe it is the long, dark hair?The veil worn rather flat? Excellent choice for a country in difficult times.

I think she is being funny but OMG how cool would that be to have jeans on under a cute little strap less top and the sweater I would think that would be a fun look! The belt is covering the fact it is a 2 piece dress!

I have to agree that detail on the bottom is so beautiful. I think that is my favorite part of the gown I want to see a detailed look at the train.
Her waist is fierce in this and the evening gown too!

I see Grace Kelly, but I also see Princess Margaret- maybe in the way the waist and skirt are?

Yes the way the skirt falls back into a train in those gathers reminds me of Margaret's dress and also Mette Marit's. There is also a Spanish feel with the kind of bustle fold at the back and it has a subtle feel of both infantas' dresses. All in all for me it is a triumph of a royal wedding dress.

no you are not, I also was very impressed with the dress. The problem is with others.
